A Sydney landmark narrowly escaped demolition after a successful preservation campaign. The Sirius building, a 1970s public housing complex in Millers Point, was at danger, due to redevelopment.

The Brutalist icon was placed on the World Monuments Watch list in 2018 and a public campaign was launched to save it and see it receive heritage status. While the status was not granted, in 2019, the state government announced that Sirius would be refurbished, rather than demolished.
